Description

Award-winning guitar virtuoso John Jorgenson, known for his exquisite guitar techniques and world-class musicianship, leads his instrumental gypsy jazz quintet in this not-to-be missed concert.  Making a rare stop in So. California, the renowned ensemble performs the unique swing style sounds of the melodic music of Django Reinhardt in a mix of soulful romance and rollicking celebration.  John Jorgenson, possibly one of the best jazz guitarists alive, is known for his mastery of a broad musical palette and is leaving a lasting legacy in the art of guitar performance.  The group’s style has been called gypsy jazz after the dynamic string-driven swing created in 1930’s Paris – but their compositions draw in elements of Latin, Romanian, Classical, Rock and Greek music, so perhaps a more apt description is “21^st Century World Music.”  

This show is golden.  The music soars!
